BBC Radio 3 - Classical Mixtape, The perfect classical half hour

In Tune's music mix, featuring the trumpet - by turns sprightly, soulful and triumphant.

A specially curated, eclectic mix of music from In Tune, featuring the many sides of the trumpet - sprightly, soulful, triumphant and more. Plus a few surprises...

From the bright energy of Stravinsky's Pulcinella suite re-imagined for trumpet, to the drowsy, languid blues of legendary jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd; this playlist explores the light and shade of one of the oldest instruments in the world. There's also a virtuoso performance of Bach from cellist Yo-Yo Ma, serene Schumann lieder, and music from Florence Price's First Symphony, inspired by African-American folk music.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
